“New Rationalist Directions in Libertarian Rights Theory” in Portuguese

My article New Rationalist Directions in Libertarian Rights Theory, originally published in the Journal of Libertarian Studies in 1996, ¹ [now appearing in updated form as “Dialogical Arguments for Libertarian Rights,” in Stephan Kinsella, Legal Foundations of a Free Society (Houston, Texas: Papinian Press, 2023)], which had previously been translated into Dutch, has now been translated, by João Marcos Theodoro (revisão de Marcos Paulo Silva do Nascimento), into Portuguese, as Novas Direções Racionalistas nas Teorias Libertárias do Direito. This article discusses and summarizes Hoppe’s argumentation ethics defense of libertarian rights, ² my complementary estoppel-based defense of rights, ³ and related ethical/normative theories. The article served as the initial basis for two Wikipedia pages: discourse ethics and argumentation ethics.

Nowadays, everyone knows me for my IP views, but this is my true interest and passion.

To date, my writing has been translated into fourteen languages.
